Before Sal arrives at her belated baby shower, Cam can't help but joke about her checkered past: "She's been tough to pin down lately, but we knew she'd never miss the chance to shower with a bunch of men."

[BRIGHTCOVE "3972602504001" "" "" "auto"] There's nothing like a near-death experience to bring a Modern Family together.

In an exclusive clip obtained by PEOPLE, it's a typical day for the Dunphys – that is, total chaos – when the ABC hit returns from its winter hiatus on Wednesday. And that's before the family narrowly avoids a car accident.

With the kids yelling in the backseat, Phil (Ty Burrell) blasting music, Claire (Julie Bowen) arguing with Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) over the phone, and Phil hopping on a call himself, it's total mania as the family – including Manny (Rico Rodriguez) – heads to its favorite pancake place.
